NOTE: STE requires a Trusted Management Servers List at each managed system to ensure that only

specified HP SIM systems can execute tasks on the system.

NOTE: On the managed system, only Trust by Certificate ensures the request came from the specified HP

SIM system. Other options, such as Trust by Name or Trust All, do not verify the

digital signature

of the HP

SIM system and, therefore, cannot reliably verify the sender of the request.

NOTE: Tasks using STE, such as Replicate Agent Settings and Install Software and Firmware, do not work

against a Virtual Cluster System. However, these tasks work when executed directly against the physical

systems of the

cluster

Configuring the system link

Configure the system link to choose the name format used when creating links to

managed systems

. The

System Link Configuration setting configures how HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) creates browser

links to remote systems and how it communicates with remote systems for certain requests.

NOTE: When you are browsing to

systems

using

Secure Sockets Layer

(SSL), the system name should match

the name in the system

certificate

to prevent browser warnings.

To configure the system link:

1. Select Options→Security→System Link Configuration. The System Link Configuration page

appears.

2. Select from the following options:

• Use the system name. Select this option to use the system name.

• Use the system IP address. Select this option to use the system IP address. For systems with

multiple addresses, multiple links might be provided.

• Use the system full DNS name. Select this option to use the full system DNS name.

Note: During

discovery

, the full system DNS name will be used as the primary lookup key if it is available.

Otherwise, the IP address is used.

Note: In the case of systems with multiple network interfaces, selecting the Use the system name

provides only one link per destination to the system, whereas Use the system IP address provides

multiple links to the system.

3. Click OK to save and apply the changes.
